The second season of the meanest show on Indian television premieres on July 11, 2009, and promises to be bigger, better and crazier. Produced by Endemol, season two of Dadagiri will air from 7 pm to 8 pm every Saturday on Bindass, with 12 new contestants who dare to stand up to the dadas for 15 weeks. The winner takes home - besides pride in a job completed - Rs 10 lakh.

Zarina Mehta, CEO of Bindass said, “Dadagiri is the ultimate test of mental and physical prowess. It is a mind game where contestants face extreme challenges in a location where only the fittest will survive. In the last season, we saw two contestants who actually overcame some of their worst fears while participating in Dadagiri. We have 12 superb contestants this time and three terrific Dadas (commanders)—Vishal, Akash and a stunning goddess, Sonali, that we have introduced this season.”

About this season
This season, Dadagiri takes you right into the heart of the Himalayas in picturesque Manali. The 12 contestants are deported to a boot camp, cut off from the outside world with all their worldly belongings seized. As boot camp commanders, the Dadas will constantly watch over the contestants and lead them through the tasks. Vishal: The Beast will make contestants go through the most gruelling task in his Macho Zone, testing their physical strength as they do a coal run, cycle upstream, bike sea-saw, etc.

The weakest performers in the Macho Zone will have to face Goddess Sonali. Her beauty is deceptive; her alluring looks hide a tough spirit with which she will test the contestants’ mental strength. She will put them through stomach-churning challenges in the Playground Zone, such as picking boiled eggs from cow dung with their mouths, or digging through rice glue and chicken fodder and feathers to find what she pleases. The two weakest contestants of the week will face elimination in the Dada Zone, where all the contestants will vote against them.
